40 Most Popular NFL Players of All Time

Who are the hottest NFL players in the current league? We break it down for you here.

What is an NFL player? In addition to being someone who can play professional football, the term is also applied to anyone involved in American football in any capacity. That means they can be coaches, coaches, journalists, or sideline reporters, referees, or even cheerleaders.

You may have seen some of their faces before. But they are not all the players on the field! For example, many famous soccer players will never touch the ball on game day because they do something else.

But we are putting that aside. Today, we will talk about the men who competed on the field and left their mark on the football game and the fans. Because everyone has an opinion about which players are hot and who isn’t, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite players right now.

This is a ranking that is not based on the opinions of those who watch them play every week, guys! But, you can’t say we don’t have standards! Also, there are some glaring omissions on this list, so be sure to share with us who you think deserves a spot on this list and anyone else!

Mychal Kendricks may not be a household name or even a face you recognize. The youngster and former UCLA No. 13 spent two years without playing football because of an ACL injury. However, members of the Philadelphia Eagles organization see things differently and think this will be the moment he makes his mark in the NFL. He’s always been the best in matches, and he’s often praised for his stunning looks. Hence, without a doubt, Mychal was known as a “lady’s man.”

Kendricks is young compared to other players, such as Carson Wentz and Marcus Smith, who were enlisted in 2016, but he still has plenty of time to make waves before heading into freelancing next year. Eagles can protect themselves from losing him because they hold his monopoly until July 15, 2018, via the franchise tag ($11,789 million). He maintained his NFL stats with 548 tackles, 19 tackles, four interceptions, seven forced fumbles, and 30 tackles.

Tom Brady is arguably one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game. He’s got 4 Super Bowl rings, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, and 3 NFL MVPs. His titles are too long to list, but suffice it to say that if he played back in 1940, he would be labeled “the greatest winger of all time.” Today, he’s the oldest player to be honored as a Super Bowl MVP. In addition, he is also the oldest starting quarterback to win the Super Bowl.

As for Tom’s personal life, his supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen, certainly doesn’t hurt him in the eyes of women across America. And with four children (one with Gisele; three with first wife Bridget Moynahan), he pretty much gets a fever. Good for him! (I mean, the whole “it takes a village” thing.)

If you are a fan of the NFL and you don’t like the game of Tom Brady – you need to check your head.

Education	Degree: Sociology, Auburn University (2015)
Achievements and Records	NFL Most Valuable Player, Offensive Player of the Year,
Records	Most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback,

He is a New England quarterback and the only player to win an Offensive Rookie of the Year award, a Most Valuable Player award, and a Super Bowl MVP award in his first three seasons. He’s also running for a touchdown record in his career.

The 6’5 inch 330-pound quarterback from Auburn University has been called “the greatest athlete ever to play pro football” by former NFL wide receiver Steve Smith Sr., who added that he would not be surprised if Newton won another MVP this season.

Newton has been an immediate success on the field with his arm strength, speed, accuracy, and ability to make plays when under duress. He is also a great deep passer, one of the best in the NFL. He is coming off his best season yet, having thrown 3,837 yards and 35 touchdowns with just ten interceptions.

He was initially selected as the first overall pick of the 2011 draft by Carolina, who got him after trading some selections to the St. Louis Rams. Newton’s journey to the league wasn’t glamorous, though; he was passed over for several years based on concerns about his size and unorthodox throwing mechanics.

Newton grew up in a tiny home without running water or electricity in an impoverished housing project. His father spent most of his days locked in his room due to his addictions, and he grew up with little to no athletic training.

Despite these challenges, Newton still has the size to be an NFL quarterback, and when he was invited to camp with the Patriots at 19, there were no questions about his arm strength and ability to throw well on the run. He also showed off a dangerous running ability and good deep passing skills to complement it.

Newton became known as “Money” for his high-fives and celebratory gestures during games.

Cam Newton’s towering height makes him an imposing presence on the field. Interested in knowing more about footballer’s height? Check out our article on Kyler Murray height, where we dive deep into the height of this American Football player.

It is safe to say that Aaron Rodgers is one of the hottest players in the National Football League. The Green Bay Packers quarterback has won MVP awards, has had two top ten scoring seasons in his nine-year career, and was recently ranked by Forbes as the sixth-highest paid player in the league. Furthermore, there are no signs of slowing down for Aaron Rodgers’ success, making him a prime candidate for being on anybody’s list of NFL players.

Aaron Rodger’s current position with Green Bay makes him an easy target for criticism, but he remains one of the most talented quarterbacks this league has ever seen. In addition, he is an intelligent leader and has proven to be a clutch winner despite the team’s shortcomings. The Packers have made the playoffs in five of his nine seasons as a starter but have only advanced past the divisional round once. In that January 2011 contest, Aaron Rodgers almost led his team to victory but fell short against New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes, who kicked the game-winning field goal as time expired.

Aaron Rodger’s leadership abilities are a rare quality in today’s NFL, and he has been able to keep this Packers organization relevant. Expect Aaron Rodger to continue being an elite quarterback for years to come, if not decades.

Jackson attended the California University of Pennsylvania, where he played football for two years. He was selected in 2008 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of high school but ended up being released before coming to training camp in 2009 because an injury kept him from practicing or playing during that preseason cutdown period.

Jackson came to training camp with the Eagles but was released before the 2010 season began. He played for Oakland Raiders in 2011 before being traded to Las Vegas Raiders  Redskins. When he signed with Philadelphia, he was regarded as a mediocre free agent signing due to the hype of other players being drafted at the same time. But he showed his potential during his first season in 2011, keeping up with other top receivers the following year. He played 60 games over his first four seasons.

Jackson suffered an injury to his left hamstring during Week 11 against New York Giants on October 14, 2014; later that day, it turned out that Jackson had injured himself by slipping on an icy field at FedEx Field (Redskins’ stadium).

Russell Wilson is a quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. He has been the starter since 2012 and ranks among the best in many statistical categories. The Seahawks are sure to be contenders during his tenure, whether they’re trailing by ten points in the 4th quarter or leading by ten after three quarters. Some of his accomplishments include becoming just the third player in NFL history with 40 wins while starting only one season, leading his team to 1st place finish in 2011 and 2013, winning Super Bowl XLVIII over the Broncos 24-14, and developing two dual-threat quarterbacks (one of which has already surpassed him). Despite these successes, Russell Wilson is widely regarded as one of the most underrated players in professional football today.

Wilson wasn’t drafted high, and the Seahawks traded up to take him in the third round in 2011. Therefore, he wasn’t expected to be an instant starter for this team. But he proved everyone wrong when he got the starting job during his rookie season, leading the Seahawks to a 5-11 record. He also made great numbers for a rookie quarterback with 3,518 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and only 12 interceptions. The following season was even better for Wilson, as he finished with 3,141 yards passing with 29 touchdowns and just six picks.

The standout LSU product has also been a spokesman for Nike since his rookie season, joining fellow NFL superstar and Nike endorser Colin Kaepernick.

Beckham mainly played on special teams as a rookie, finishing third in tackles and proving instrumental when he took over starting duties from an injured Rueben Randle late in season one. He’s had more than 400 yards in one game and caught touchdowns in four consecutive games last year.

Beckham is part of a wave of young players that the NFL and its marketing partners hope will revitalize the league’s fan base after a slight dip in popularity during its 2013 season. Other players in the NFL’s “young guns” campaign include Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick, Cam Newton, and J.J. Watt. Beckham is only 23 years old but is already one of the most famous men in sports thanks to his eye-popping catches—including an absurd one-handed effort that has already been deemed the most lavish reception of all time by some experts—and his ability to move fans with his on-field celebrations.

13. Danny Amendola

Danny Amendola is a 6-foot, 190-pound American soccer player who plays professionally for the New England Patriots in the National Football League.

Although raised in Texas, Amendola played high school football in Colorado Springs at Air Academy High School and college football at Texas Tech University. His nickname is Dancin’ Dan, and he is known for breaking into his own “dance” after scoring a touchdown or catching a long pass. He was built by St. Louis Rams in 2008 and then traded to the Patriots. He played from 2013-2017 before rejoining this year. Amendola signed a one-year contract with the Houston Texan worth $2.5 million.

He won his first Super Bowl ring playing alongside Tom Brady in Super Bowl 46 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Although Amendola is a fan favorite, he is also difficult to judge because it is difficult to gauge precisely what makes him so effective.

It’s no surprise that Amendola plays his hands well as he is also a very talented dancer.

14. Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is easily one of the best tight ends in football right now. He has a unique style of play and a unique look on the field. Travis was drafted in 2013 by Kansas City, and he has been a critical component of their success ever since.

In his short time with them, Kelce has been able to do some historical things, including catching 12 touchdown passes from year one to two. In all-star games against other league teams, his dominance is apparent as he dominates whoever he lines up against from that week’s opponent. His athleticism is unmatched as well as his size at 6’5 250lbs for a tight end makes him hard for defenders to cover.

He is very similar to former tight-end Tony Gonzalez but has the skills of a wide receiver. He can beat defenders to the ball or catch passes with his speed and strength, making him one of the best in the league.
